Later that morning!

Yes, it is catch-up time. I warned you! But seriously, I'd say I've had an interesting week thus far. Besides the usual readings (which include many things I've read before like Frankenstein and Henry IV part I), I've mainly started writing a screenplay which is something I've never tried before, but for the most part I'm finding it pretty fun. My short stories and longer fiction tend to be weak or lacking on the dialogue side, so this is giving me some good practice. I also don't have to worry so much about narration. I don't want to give too much away (I know, that's a lot of fun) but I think it's going to be a kind of dark comedy, though how dark I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to adapt a slightly more realistic but more inventive version of a short story I did where...I can't talk about it now, sorry. Just can't. I've never been good at planning things out before I write them. I always have to just start typing. Even that's not enough sometimes. I'll quote my favorite actor, the Holy Scotsman (don't laugh...please?), Sean Connery: "The first key to writing is to write, not to think." My few and humble experiences seem to agree.
